So mainly this Best Dressed list is comprised of looks from the 2015 CMT Music Awards. But I have a couple of other looks that I wanted to include on this list as well from other red carpet functions, ENJOY!

Danielle Bradbery

Danielle is dazzling in this molten, embellished Patricia Bonaldi mini. She is sparkling and shining all over!

Carrie Underwood

Carrie is working her post-baby bod in this Thomas Wylde mini, showing off her legendary gorgeous stems! She accessorized with silver Jimmy Choo heels, a metallic Deepa Gurnani clutch, and Kimberly McDonald jewelry.

Jenna Dewan Tatum

Jenna looks lovely in this magenta Zuhair Murad dress laced with peekaboo panels. The details here are quite exquisite. She paired with her look an oxblood clutch and Neil Lane jewelry. Her styling, as always, was by Brad Goreski.

Cassadee Pope

Peekaboo lace panels was a fave of mine, clearly! Cassadee too looks amazing in her lace paneling look, but hers was an antique-looking, golden mini by Mikael D. Coordinating with her look was a shiny silver Swarovski clutch.

Her styling was provided by Townsend Style and Fashion Forwards LA.

RaeLynn

RaeLynn’s look was quite bold, but I was definitely intrigued. This multi-colored, brightly printed Gabriela Cadena dress is stunningly gorgeous. It’s hard to take your eyes off of it!

Rumer Willis

Rumer kept it simple, very minimalistic, but in a great way. It’s not always about the bells & whistles! Her stark white, fitted dress was from House of CB. And she paired with her look lavender Stuart Weitzman heels, a metallic Salvatore Ferrgamo clutch, and Doves jewels.

Hunter Hayes

Hunter Hayes looked quite handsome, rockin’ his grey suit, sans tie. He is also wearing an Omega watch.

The Swon Brothers

The Swon Brothers were quite the dapper pair, dressed in all black, quite casual, but great pieces for their looks. I was a huge fan of theirs on NBC’s The Voice so I am happy to see them doing so well!

Florida Georgia Line

Florida Georgia Line was another good lookin’ pair on the CMT red carpet. Not coordinating like the Swon Brothers, but each gent doing his own thing, having his own style.

Bella Thorne

So my first non-country Best Dressed pick was the beautiful Bella. She was attending her new MTV show’s premiere in L.A., Scream. Her luscious side waves were courtesy of Neutrogena. She donned a sexy black Mugler dress, paired perfectly with black Stuart Weitzman heels and XIV Karats jewelry.

Anna Faris

Anna was too rockin’ a sexy mini, her pick, a shades of silver, embellished Rubin Singer dress. Her accessories were a metallic Jimmy Choo clutch and matching mule sandals. She was attending the premiere of Jurassic World in Hollywood.

Best Dressed Combo — Flower Power

Posted on June 9, 2015 by SMM

A couple of major red carpets occurred over the past week, thus deserving of some best dressed nods. There was the 2015 Tony Awards and then the 2015 Critics Choice Awards (TV). So here are my fave picks!

Vanessa Hudgens

I am all about some florals for this best dressed list, especially Vanessa in this vibrant printed floral Naeem Khan gown. Paired with her look, a glittery gold Rodo clutch and Norman Silverman jewelry.

Her glam squad — Laura Polko creating this elegant updo, and Natalie Saidi for styling the look.

Jennifer Grey

Jennifer looked stunning in this stark white, lace Zac Posen fitted gown with feathers adorned on the hem. Her Glam squad details are as follows — Vanessa Heshima for both hair & makeup and Danielle Levy for styling.

Anna Chlumsky

There were a couple of maroon gowns gracing my best dressed list. First one being Anna in this full length, silk Sophie Theallet dress. She accessorized with Solange Azagury Partridge jewelry.

Patricia Clarkson

Not sure who Patricia is wearing, but with another bold floral look, I couldn’t resist in adding her to my list. I love the contrast of this shortened black dress with the lively, crimson red rose print.

Elisabeth Moss

Elisabeth too donned some florals, her choice, a fitted white Oscar de la Renta gown with multi-colored flowers embellishing the bodice.

She also had an amazing glam team, Kemal Harris & Tommy Buckett for styling, and Daniel Martin for beauty.

Kristin Chenoweth

Kristin was shimmery and shiny all over in this metallic silver Zac Posen gown, fitted to a tee and with a slight train. Deb Watson was her stylist for this look.

Leanne Cope

More flower action from Leanne with this dark grey, mixed media, Randi Rahm dress. I am usually not a fan of florals and polka dots mixed, but here, it works! She paired with her look. Oscar Heyman earrings. And for her overall look details, we have Dessange for the gorgeous updo and makeup from L’Oreal Paris.

Debra Messing

Debra was my other maroon pick, her dress being a shortened Zac Posen halter strapped look. Beautiful accessories for her look include matching Jimmy Choo heels, a Judith Leiber clutch, and lavender DeGrisogono jewelry.

Kelli O’Hara

Not sure of the designer details for Kelli, but it’s another floral look, so of course I’m on board. But really it has such a vintage, antique quality to the dress that I am just such a fan!

Josh Groban & Kat Dennings

I am not sure who Kat is wearing, but I do know who helped in putting the overall look together — stylist Lawren Sample, makeup by Carolina Dali with use of Chanel products, and hair by Gareth Bromell.

Nick Jonas

Nick is looking quite handsome in his all black tuxe, courtesy of Louis Vuitton.

Dule Hill

Dule is another stylish looking gent, his suit though in navy blue and by Ralph Lauren, with black Salvatore Ferragamo shoes and accessories by Scott Kay.

Constance Zimmer

The UnREAL actress floated down the carpet in a floral crop top and a matching full skirt by Leanne Marshall. It must be the summer in the air, but I am really just loving all of the bright, colorful floral looks!

Jaimie Alexander

Jaimie went ultra-understated, but also ultra-chic with this ombre slate Halston Heritage strapless dress. Her accessories were all perfection, a Pasquale Bruni diamond bracelet, a metallic Halston clutch, Doves ring, and black Kurt Geiger heels.

Cat Deeley

And to complete my list, a final vibrant look from Cat, a tangerine Azzaro Couture, chiffon halter dress, embellished with feathery, navy embroidery.

Best Dressed Looks from Cannes 2015

Posted on May 20, 2015 by SMM

Fashion and the Cannes Film Festival red carpets certainly go hand in hand. These gorgeous gowns are right up there with the likes of other major red carpets we see throughout a given year — Oscars, Grammys, Met Ball, etc. So here are my top picks from the 68th annual Cannes Film Festival. ENJOY!!

Eva Longoria

There are almost no words to express how stunning Eva looks in this gray lace sheer-paneled Gabriela Cadena gown, which features a plunging neckline and mini train. It’s perfection! She accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and her gorgeous make-up look was courteous of L’Oreal Paris. Eva was attending the Inside Out premiere.

Diane Kruger

Diane, while attending the premiere of The Sea of Trees, donned a pale blue Prada gown, embellished with crystal appliqués and featuring a long silk scarf that trailed dramatically from her halter neck bodice.She looked magical! Paired with her look are beautiful Harry Winston jewels. And her pulled back wavy hair look was courtesy of Perrine Rougemont.

Emma Stone

Emma was seriously on point with 2 of her Cannes looks. First, she attended the red carpet premiere of Irrational Man, wearing a sleeveless slate Dior Couture gown, covered in lace which included an elaborate train and open back. And to complete her look with some lovely jewelry, she wore a Repossi necklace and rings, and Jennifer Meyer stud earrings.

For this day look, she wore this structured lacy black Oscar de la Renta cocktrail frock, from the Pre-Fall 15 collection. She again wore Repossi, earrings and rings, as well as black Christian Louboutin heels.

Melanie Laurent

Shimmery and glittery all over, and I love it! Melanie looks exquisite in this completely beaded, cap sleeve Zuhair Murad gown with flowing train at the Inside Out premiere.

Rooney Mara

While attending the premiere of Carol, Rooney wore a cream colored, ruffled Rochas gown with a halter neck and key-hole slit. What a classic and ladylike look, great choice for Rooney.

Salma Hayek

I love that Salma added a bold splash of color to the red carpet with this radiant orchid Gucci gown. It had such a great fit and you can’t miss this stunning, plunging neckline. She was too attending the red carpet premiere of Carol.

Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle was another gorgeous gal for me with 2 amazing looks. While attending the Mad Max: Fury Road premiere, the actress sparkled in a flesh-toned Zuhair Murad gown, embellished with intricate designs and lace. She completed her look with deGrisogono jewelry.

For the Irrational Man premiere, Michelle stunned in a short-sleeved black Elie Saab gown, featuring dainty (and sexy!) lace cut-outs. Here, she went with diamond jewelry by Avakian.

Irina Shayk

While attending the Sicario premiere, Irina sizzled in Versace, specifically this high-slit, gold embellished gown.

For the opening ceremony of Cannes, La Tête Haute, Naomi went with a powder-blue, cap-sleeved Elie Saab gown from the spring 2015 collection, featuring an embroidered sequin and pearl bodice with a plunging neckline, against a long feathered skirt. Her well coordinated accessories were all from Bulgari, diamond jewelry & a black and white clutch.

Emily was feeling a disco-ball-esque look with this custom silk Stella McCartney gown, and I’m all for it. Paired with her look were statement making, emerald Anna Hu Haute Joaillerie earrings and jewelry. She was attending the Sicario premiere.

And to cap off my list, one more Emily Blunt look, this time simplistically minimalistic in a nude Calvin Klein Collection dress and Sutra jewelry. Here, she was attending the IFP/Euphoria Calvin Klein/Women in Film party.

Best Dressed Mash-Up

Posted on May 14, 2015 by SMM

Cannes and the Billboard Music Awards are coming up, but for the time being, too many other red carpets have come and gone, and are certainly deserving of some Best Dressed nods and recognitions. I am a little scatterbrained for this list! I have Network Upfronts, major movie premieres, the BAFTAs, and more. But all in all, these are some amazing looks that I just could not overlook. Enjoy!

Sophia Bush

Sophia was attending the PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly‘s upfront party in N.Y.C., looking lovely in this deep purple Monique Lhuillier lace dress. Paired perfectly with her look, black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels, a color coordinating Edie Parker clutch, and a few diamond pieces from Karma El Khalil Jewelry.

Anna Kendrick

I love these colors and normally I wouldn’t think to pair a cobalt blue and royal purple, but Anna makes it work. This is a phenomenal gown by Stella McCartney, complete with side cutouts. She also has accessorized well, Graziela Gems ear cuffs, rings by Melissa Kaye Jewelry, and a gold Lee Savage clutch. Anna is attending the L.A. premiere of her recent flick, Pitch Perfect 2.

Eleanor Tomlinson

I’m in feather heaven with this exquisitely feather adorned, dove grey Ralph Lauren gown. The gown and Eleanor are both a vision! Eleanor is attending the 2015 BAFTA TV Awards.

Blake Lively

Blake went on a major press tour for her recent film, The Age of Adaline. These are a few of my fave looks for her various events and red carpets!

For the film’s N.Y.C. premiere, the actress chose a bright red Monique Lhuillier dress, Judith Leiber silver Koi Fish clutch and beautiful diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

For her Allure magazine cover party, she was artistically stunning in this floral appliqué Ralph & Russo couture dress — prim, pretty, and proper!

And finally, for another press related event, Blake donned this two-toned Antonio Berardi sheath with gold accents, paired perfectly with rose-gold Sophia Webster heels.

Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth was simply elegant while attending a charity gala benefiting the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in London. She went with a minimalistic look, a black Emilio Pucci with a plunging neckline and diamond adorned straps.

Emma Roberts

Emma was chic and fashionable in this webbed Jonathan Simkhai crop top and skirt with black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels. She was attending Fox’s upfront party in N.Y.C.. Accessories for her look — Dana Rebecca Designs jewels and an Amanda Wakeley white clutch with gold trim.

Bella Thorne

Bella is rockin’ this black and white Naeem Khan jumpsuit — huge fan of this look! Stuart Weitzman sandal heels seem to be a theme for this best dressed list as Bella is too sportin’ a black pair, as well as Cartier jewelry. Her youthful beauty look is courtesy of Ashleigh Louer, while her overall styling is thanks to Brad Goreski.Bella is too attending the L.A. premiere for Pitch Perfect 2.

Olivia Culpo

Olivia looks super sexy and chic in this multi-colored Balmain mini. And as she likely knows, you can never go wrong when completing your look with Jimmy Choos! She is also wearing some jewelry pieces from Melinda Maria Designs. Her bronzed makeup look is by Patrick Ta, with overall styling by Jennifer Mazur. Olivia is attending Nylong Mag’s annual Young Hollywood bash!

Stefanie Scott

Stephanie is a true beauty in person. So glad to have met her a year or so ago at NYFW. I’m happy to see she is doing well. And how great does she look in this cobalt blue Guishem dress, complete with a dropped shoulder and side cutouts. I also think her accessories were spot on, black Casadei heels and Djula jewelry.

She was also at the Young Hollywood party, sponsored by BCBGeneration and be GLAMMED.

Maisie Williams

Maisie is attending the House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards in London, wearing a periwinkle lace Self-Portrait dress, ASOS white sandal heels, and Kate Spade earrings.

2015 Met Gala — Best Dressed

Posted on May 5, 2015 by SMM

Some went literal. Others went understated. And some just went their own merry route! That is the Met Gala, “aka Met Ball” for you though! This year’s theme was all about Chinese fashion and inspirations. The exhibit was entitled “China: Through the Looking Glass”. So who went thematic and nailed it, and who just looked too amazing I couldn’t help but include them on my Best Dressed list? Find out below!

Kate Hudson

Gold was a hot color of the night, clearly color being not only a trend of the evening, but attempts to tie in with the overall theme. I believe when bold and antique looking as this custom, suntan-hued, stretch tulle Michael Kors dress with an open back and hand-embroidered paillettes, the theme was understated, but it was present. Simply put, Kate looked radiant! She carried an Edie Parker ivory and gold clutch and donned a Lorraine Schwartz headpiece.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Another in gold, but Rosie went sensual, daring, and sexy in this molten Atelier Versace dress with an up-to-there slit and various cutouts.

Coordinating perfectly were her Christian Louboutin Benedetta nude sandal heels.

And she continued to accessorize well with Anita Ko earrings and rings.

Keri Russell

Not enough words to explain how PHENOMENAL this plunging, high-slitted Altuzarra dress is. It’s covered in emerald feathers. And I love all of the colors and textures, very captivating. With her bold look, she coordinated with black strappy Altuzarra sandals, Ana Khouri earrings and a Solange Azagury-Partridge ring.

Jennifer Lopez

This is a gown that looks great from any angle! It’s scaly creature on a flame-licked Versace dress, teamed with a Swarovski clutch and baubles by Sutra, Ivy, Harry Kotlar, and Jack Vartanian.

The whole look is highly intriguing and completely eye-catching!

Bee Shaffer

I’m head over heels for this fully eccentric and eclectic Alexander McQueen custom burgundy embroidered gown. The details are just all so stunning, the floral embroidery, the gorgeous train — I’m in love!

Amal Alamuddin

Amal I don’t think is a die-hard red carpet fan, but she certainly did well for herself here. This red-hot, ruffled, multi-media John Galliano dress for Maison Margiela was a great choice for her. The bodice has an exquisite fit and the overall look is daring, but not over-the-top.

Katie Holmes

Ahhh, isn’t this gown so dreamy! It’s a vision, this navy blue speckled Zac Posen dress with dreamy cloud-shaped embellishments along the hemline.

Katie is too a vision, especially with elegant accessories in that of diamond Chopard jewelry and a luxe Roger Vivier clutch.

And no worries on the new hair alert, as this is just a wig styled by DJ Quintero, using products from Alterna, the haircare company Holmes co-owns.

Selena Gomez

Selena looks stunning in this custom, silk crepe, Vera Wang creation, complete with a V-neck bra top, a plunging open back, and Chinese tassel accents.

And no way can you overlook this mesmerizing floral updo, created by Jake Bailey and Renato Campora for Moroccanoil.

Joan Smalls

My one, totally sexy, daring piece, has to be Joan in this semi-sheer purple lace dress with cutouts and a sheer skirt, which further complimented with Chopard diamonds. This color is so eye-catching, a great choice, and really what a dress — Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli.

Her beauty look is just as great, a mix of Pure Color Gelée Powder Eyeshadow in Cyber Magenta and Pure Color Envy Eyeshadow Palette in Currant Desire, from Estee Lauder.

Wendi Murdoch

Co-chair to the event, Wendi is right in the A+ game/lane, with this navy blue Oscar de la Renta fitted gown with gold embellishments adorned throughout the look. For her accessories, she went with a tassled Kotur clutch and Cindy Chao jewelry.

Dianna Agron

This is such a wearable work of art, this ethereal white Tory Burch, one-shoulder, silk chiffon dress that boasted three cranes embroidered on its skirt. Dianna accessorized with a white Tory Burch clutch and emerald Fred Leighton baubles.

Adriana Lima

Lots of special touches are in this deep burgundy Marc Jacobs dress, with a falling starburst design as just one of the highlights. I too love sheer bodice/neckline.

There are some fantastic accessories to compliment this look, ruby red Chopard jewelry and a black Judith Leiber clutch. This bold hair, blunt bangs and luscious waves, is courtesy of Anthony Cristiano Salon, And her sulty makeup is all thanks to Maybelline NY, Morgane Martini, cat eye and ruby red lip.

Lizzy Caplan

This is probably one of my more obviously thematic looks, but nonetheless a must have on my Best Dressed list. This adoring blush-hued, asymmetrical Donna Karan Atelier dress, embellished with gold beading and embroidery is perfection.

She complimented this look well with gold tassel-style earrings by Jack Vartanian, a ruby Carla Amorim ring, and a pearlescent Edie Parker clutch.

Helen Mirren

Helen is a red carpet pro, always such a standout and she doesn’t disappoint in this red lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. She is workin’ this look!

Miranda Kerr

Miranda is proving you don’t have to go all out, full on gowns, to rock the red carpet. I love that she went short, simple, and sweet with this printed Louis Vuitton sheath dress. Dig her accessory choices as well, LV clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and black Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

And for her lovely beauty look, Lisa Storey for makeup & David Keough for hair.

Caroline Trentini

This is a smashing look, sculpted and sensational — a sheer black Versace number.

Kudos to this phenomenal glam squad — Lisa Houghton for makeup, David Colvin for hair, as well as Esther Langham.

11150496_982589115106097_7329575587705728692_n

Eddie Redmayne & Hannah Bagshawe

And my one dynamic duo pair, both in Valentino, such a lovely couple, but the looks here, well worthy of best dressed nods. Hannah looks so sophisticated, very classy.

Round-Up Best Dressed List

Posted on April 29, 2015 by SMM

From the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to the Radio Disney Music Awards, and finally to the 2015 Daytime Emmy’s, there were a lot of best dressed looks gracing these various red carpets. Here are some of the major fashionable highlights —

Lucy Liu

Jenna Dewan-Tatum

What a smashing choice for Jenna, this strapless black Reem Acra gown with a white embellished bodice — so beautiful! Her stylist Brad Goreski was spot on here, especially adding those special touches in that of the Casa Reale jewels she donned.

Jane Fonda

Jane is still proving she can do no wrong when it comes to the red carpet. She looks AMAZING in this body-hugging black Donna Karan turtleneck gown with a sequin sharkskin motif. And keeping with an all-black look, she accessorized with a Perrin Paris clutch.

Chanel Iman

Chanel was an ethereal princess in this periwinkle Zuhair Murad chiffon gown with crystal embroidery on the shoulders — such a beauty! Her stylist for this look was Christina Pacelli.

Laverne Cox

WOW! What a look for Laverne, this dove-gray Ines Di Santo gown with a V-neck and long train. She looks so classy and elegant, really workin’ this look! She accessorized her look with diamond Forevermark jewels and a metallic Jill Haber clutch.

Connie Britton

I love that Connie chose to go with a bright pop of color. She looks radiant in this berry Halston Heritage gown with a geometric peplum waistline.

Sabrina Carpenter

Very grown up and mature, yet such a classy, fashionable look for Sabrina in this nude Patricia Bonaldi embellished dress. She looks magnificently perfect! Paired with her look are some jewelry pieces by Kendra Scott.

Rumer Willis

You can’t go wrong with a sexy black jumpsuit and Rumer knows that! She also coordinated well with a great splash of color with this bright red clutch.

Kelsea Ballerini

This look for Kelsea is just so fun and flirty. I couldn’t help but include it on my best dressed list. The graphic printed Bella Bella for Ani & Ari is so imaginative and vibrant. I love it! And to complete her look with more fun and color, plum heels by Steven Madden .

What a breathtaking look! This boldly red Paolo Sebastian gown with a flowing train is perfection for Linsey. She looks phenomenal! Paired with her look are some diamond Martin Katz jewels. And she actually did her own hair & makeup!!

Jen Lilley

Another bold red number with a train, but who cares. Jen rocks this crimson gown all on her own, a Walter Collection piece with a lovely sheer detailing around the neckline. And to complete her look, some statement making diamond jewelry from Charlie Lapson.

Eileen Davidson

And finally, looking just as sparkling and radiant as my 1st all black glittering look, Eileen too looks great in this black Mark Zunino gown with a sweetheart neckline and flowing train. Her fab glam team too deserves some props, Patti Denney with a refreshing beauty look, killer bold red lip, and George Guzman for her low chignon bun.

MTV Movie Awards 2015 — Best Dressed

Posted on April 14, 2015 by SMM

Always a fun and exhilarating red carpet, the MTV Movie Awards. Here is my Best Dressed list, as well as an honorable mention from the 2015 Olivier Awards.

Sofia Vergara

Not enough words to express how much I love Sofia’s look here, a cobalt blue Noam Hanoch dress with lace cutouts. What a stand-out dress — the color, the lace, so chic and sexy!

Jennifer Lopez

J. Lo is rockin’ these red carpets lately, always looking so amazingly captivating! Here she is donning a Anthony Vaccarello x Versus Versace suit jacket, mini skirt, and belt. Accessorizing just as well, she has paired with her look gold Chimento and Vita Fede jewels, a black and gold Salvatore Ferragamo clutch and coordinating Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

Anna Camp

This multi-colored and printed Peter Pilotto dress is a great choice for Anna; it’s so lively and vibrant! She coordinated well with her accessories — sky blue Stuart Weitzman heels and jewelry from both Shylee Rose and EF Collection.

Her beauty look, a sunkist, fresh take, was courtesy of Melanie Inglessis. Gorgeous flowy waves were by Rob Talty. The overall look was put together by Jessica Paster.

Maia Mitchell

Maia clearly believes there is nothing wrong with a basic LBD and I couldn’t agree more! This fitted, long-sleeved Reiss dress looks great on her, just an overall simplistically minimal look with Tory Burch heels to top it all off!

Katie Stevens

I’ve been a fan of Katie since her days on Idol and I love her current hit MTV show Faking It. So glad to see her doing well and looking so great! She looks phenomenal in this short-sleeved white Rachel Zoe frock with gold bead embellishments on both the hem and sleeves.

Completing her look are some just as stunning accessories — nude Stuart Weitzman heels, white and rose pink Tyler Alexandra clutch, and understated Ruifier jewels.

Victoria Justice

There is just something about this fun and flirty Versace look that keeps catching my eye and attention. I’m not sure if it’s the cutouts or the color palette, but I absolutely love it! It’s completely adorned with Swarovski crystals and she is even accessorizing with some Swarovski jewelry as well. Completing her look are black Jimmy Choos.

Emily Ratajkowski

There is just no doubt this is a super sexy, crazy cool dress by Fausto Puglisi. The embellished partial bodice is very mesmerizing and it’s in a great color, bright green! Emily accessorized with Jennifer Meyer jewelry, Eva Fehren earrings, and a Borgioni ring, as well as a black Amanda Pearl clutch.

Bridget Regan

Bridget was a little matchy-matchy with the blue carpet, but this look, with the hand-painted details, was so gorgeous, what a stunner! Her stylist Karen Raphael picked a truly great look here by Elena Reva. She paired with this dress metallic heels from Via Spiga.

Bailey De Young

Bailey looked fun, flirty, prim, proper and cute in this Alice and Olivia skirt and top. The pairing of the floral top with the bright cobalt blue skirt was a great styling choice. She coordinated with her look a Per Lo Jewelry bracelet.

Vanessa Marano

Vanessa looked chic and fab here in this color-blocked Jay Godfrey dress. She left no detail unnoticed and accessorized well with a glittery silver Rauwolf clutch, Ruifier ring, and white Lust for life heels.

Miles Teller

The only designer detail I know for Miles looks is that his timepiece is Montblanc. But I just love this casually stylish separates look; he looks great!

Nicole Scherzinger

And for my honorable mention, the 2015 Olivier Awards, sponsored my MasterCard, we have Nicole. The awards show is basically London’s version of the Tony Awards.

This is an elegant black look, very fashionable and glamorous for the red carpet at hand, just very much a smashing success of a look!
